yup that's a meal in a bottle. They also have a 10.2% seasonal cherry wheat beer called mad elf. Should be out soon but at $50ish a case I'm usually to broke to get it.

Two fingers of clear apple pie at 45% on ice. Still need to work on it, needs more apple flavour.

Been following your progress . My guess is more apple concentrate in the thumper and then dilute to drinking strength with fresh apple concentrate . WAG until I try it this winter .

This time I'm going to do it straight up panty dropper style. I have a few quarts in the freezer with sliced apples that I picked off the tree, a cinnamon stick, and a small box of raisins. I'm starting up a bourbon run now, and gonna use the back set with the fixins' to do a sugar head (ala Jimbo). That will be my base.

I may have to watch the cinnamon stick. But I'm hoping to not use any sugar. Well see how it goes. Last year's was way too sweet.

It's never wrong to double up right? Homebrew Ginger hooch and RyePA

Finger and a half of 90 proof clear apple pie with 3 fingers of fresh apple cider.yumm fuckintastic

I'll be having a mixed drink using some of the 95% neutral spirits I ran off today, diluted down to 80 proof... Far better than the store bought we've been drinking due to my being too busy/lazy to reflux some Birdwatchers pot stripped low wines... Half done, half to go...

Just had dinner, then made my first batch of Jimbo's Ginger Hooch... mmmmm damn delicious this stuff!!!

My Son and opened a bottle of Redbreast 12 and smoked a couple of fine ISOM cigars to celebrate the birth of his second Son. He came several days early, and was still over 10 1/2 pounds.

Congratulations J S,
Aint Nothing in the world like being a Grandpa !!!!

Carry On

Thank you, RR! I agree! He is our four Grandson, no girls yet.

Congrats J S, on the birth of the grandson.

Water still rehydrating

Thanks much, SC!

Bells expedition stout. Damd good beer. That's cornhusker.

thought I'd treat myself to a descent Whiskey since i don't by much these days.
Picked up a bottle of Chivas Regal, was really looking forward to have some as I haven't really had any since my adolescents, I was very disappointed...
I was expecting a high quality blended Whiskey, but instead got a bland one with quick finish, too smooth, no character.

spend your money elswhere would be my advice.

Sitting here drinkin corn and oat ujssm and coffee with two butterscotch candies melted into it about to load up the dogs and my shotgun.got to take two guys hog hunting about daylight. Easiest way to make money that I've found yet...!!! Life is good. So is ujssm!

You damn well betcha ! Thank you from me , too , Randy .

No problem guys, I'm glad you like it!

My first batch of All Bran hit a month today, so I diluted it to 40% and gave it a shot -- it was run too soon, so is kinda hot, but it's been sitting with some JD chips and a vanilla bean for most of that month.

It's no longer unpleasant I still wouldn't pay money for it, but I can't wait to see what it tastes like at Christmas.

Double-posting!

That batch I mentioned up above -- it's been worrying me, as I put all this time and effort into learning and making, because it still tastes kinda nasty. Like, not horrible, but not *good* either.

Tonight I was thinking about taking my other jar, run a week later and with tighter cuts, and doing an experiment with diluting it with some mango nectar that I have here. It's been rough smelling, but I thought maybe I could fix it.

I gave it a taste before the experiment, and holy shit -- THIS is why you people do this. Oh my god it was good. Young, for sure, but clean, tasty, and with a bit of complexity, especially for being 1.5 months old.

Not that I was shaky or giving up, but damn, this is motivational.

Downing some ... well, Bourbon I guess. 100% corn. Aged on Am. white oak. Made only weeks ago. Still needs like a few months, but the potential is there. Nice corn flavour. Vanilins on the back ground.

Fresh pressed apple cider, ginger liquor and vodka. I think I'll call it ... "Whooahhh The Carpet Matches the Drapes". Ok its a little long for a drink name. Open to suggestions here. Its damn fine, recommend any of ya's who tried my ginger liquor recipe give it a try. How about "Eve was a Ginger",.... you know, who bit the apple.... OK, I quit.

That's funny Jimbo, I like the name the carpet matches the drapes. I'm sitting here going through some very dull but necessary paperwork and just got inspired to give my very young grape brandy a try. It's been on a stick of apple wood for maybe 2 weeks but the wood is doing wonders for it. Very nice stuff if I do say so myself. Now back to paperwork.

My rye bread whiskey gets better and better now that I was able to give it some rest. Jerushalem Artichoke Vodka is a winner. If only I can find someone to do the mashing for me ...

Jimbos Bourbon at a good friends new handcrafted outdoor firepit. Life is good.

Better shot of buddies firepit. It's a beautiful thing.
